Dekelboum Concert Hall

The
Gamer Symphony Orchestra returns to the stage of the Clarice Smith
Performing Arts Center for their annual spring concert. Join the GSO for an
afternoon of orchestral game music, when they'll perform new arrangements from
The Legend of Zelda and Pokemon and bring back crowd favorites
like Kingdom Hearts and Phoenix Wright. The event is
unticketed, so bring along your friends and family!

The student-run GSO
works to establish video game music as a serious art form and to use that music
as a way to bring new and younger audiences to orchestral performances. The GSO
is the first collegiate ensemble exclusively devoted to performing orchestral
arrangements of video game music and using that music as an educational tool.
The orchestra began humbly in late 2005 with six members and now boasts a roster
of more than 100 musicians, including 30 singers.
